Inadequate
Summary
- The provision is inadequate Staff do not support children's person, social and emotional development wel enough.
- They do not set clear boundaries and expectations and children are unaware of what is expected of them.
- At times, when children's behaviour escalates, staff struggle to manage it and there is not a consistent approach in place.
- When children get hurt by others, there is no explanation to help them understand that the actions of others is not appropriate.
- Staff role model some positive behaviours to children, such as good manners at snack time.
- However, they often use physical intervention to stop children when other approaches have not been fully explored.
- There is no record kept of this.
- This compromises children's welfare and shows lack of respect.
- Children learn to make choices in their play.
- Staff are getting to know children and are aware of what they like to play with.
- They plan activities and help extend on children's interests.
- For example, after reading a story about a witch, staff help children to make potions with a variety of items.
- However, at times, children's engagement in learning is more difficult due to disruptions in children's behaviour.
- As a result, children are not able to reach their full potential.
- This includes children who learn English as an additional language and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?n The new staff team has only been in place a short time.
- However, the inductionand supervision process is not effective.
- Staff are unclear of the procedures in place, which means they are not implemented consistently.
- For example, children could access the kitchen where there are hazardous materials stored.
- Staff do not consistently follow the procedure to prevent children from accessing the area.n Staff work with parents to share information about children.
- Parents report thatthey feel happy with the setting.
- The provider and manager continue to find ways to share information with parents to benefit children's time at pre-school.
- However, currently, no impact of this is evident in the setting.n The provider has not appropriately risk assessed all areas of the setting.
- Shedoes not ensure that there are suitable procedures in place for emergency evacuation.
- For example, fire exits and safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, are not freely accessible at all times.n Staff talk to children and help to extend their language skil s.
- For example, theydescribe starfish and sharks as children explore sand and water.
- Children enjoy the opportunity to use the garden.
- They practise their physical skil s and ride on bikes.
- Children learn some skil s ready to start school, however this is limited
